Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "So now you're calling David Kay an F***ing liar again?"

No, I'm saying that you distorted the truth when you said that David Kay "proved" that Iraq had WMD related activities. No such evidence was ever shown, all that David Kay did was say that he was convinced.

Hey, if there were rock solid evidence of "WMD related activity" by the Iraqis, you wouldn't be quoting David Kay, you'd be pointing at the evidence. Instead, the best you can do is to say that David Kay says that there is evidence of it. You can't actually point at the evidence or tell me what it is.

This is the same situation as before the war. The Administration claims that something is true, but doesn't provide any evidence of it.

But to get back to your implication on the truthfulness of David Kay, yes, I believe that he's a known liar, as is the entire population of the world, with the possible exception of Jesus and a few saints. What's worse, Kay is a member of the Bush administration, a group of people who seem to have little regard for the truth. I do not have proof that Kay lied with regard to Iraqi "WMD activities", but on the other hand, Kay apparently doesn't have proof either. Just as with the situation on WMDs before the war, the administration may be running a scam.

If Bush hadn't cried wolf on WMDs, it would be easier to believe him and his people on "WMD activities", but he's lost his credibility, so it is time for him to prove the things he claims, rather than just stating that he has "proof". I've already heard him, and you, talk for months about the fact that Bush had proof of WMDs.
